Wordpress change image link url to file url

Question

When clicking on images in my posts it takes me to the attachment post of the image. From there I have to click the image again to get the full size. Instead I want to go directly to the full size image in uploads. Is there a function that will do that?

Answer 1

In the Media Upload, if you choose "File URL", it will link to the full-sized image.

If you want this to be the default behavior, you can either by changing the options directly in the dashboard, or by adding some code to your theme.
